Down in the valley where the green grass grows,This is known as God's place,as everyone knows. There are many of God's creatures in this place so green. And they were put here in the hope they would never be mean. God put man here on earth so that he would enjoy life. But man wouldn't listen to God's word, and he came to know strife. God hoped that man would turn out to be good. But things got worse as He knew they would.

Some things are sad, some things are gay. But life musy go on, as it does every day. God watches over His children, as though they were sheep. And as God says, "MY people will I keep" God keeps his children safe and sound, And helps them through their battle, every single round. God helps His people if help is what they need. God helps the poor, if what they need is food. God put on this earth, a many a tree. And God gave man eyes, so the trees he may see. God put in mans heart, joy and cheer, God gave man ears so the joy he might hear.

But some day all earthly things will come to an end, And all of God's people will begin to ascend. To that heavenly place up above, where people will fly with the wings of a dove. Then God will make a better place, a place with the better human race. And people will live forever more, and not know any more what its like to be poor. And we know a new life will begin, by trusting in God, people will never know sin.
